orientation can be aided by
marking with the use of colour,
illumination and, in certain
cases, the texture of material.
Design and plan arrangements
should be simple and
uncomplicated. Contrasting
colours should be used to aid the
identification of doors, stairs,
ramps, passage ways, skirting
boards, etc. Surfaces can be
varied to indicate passage ways,
changes of direction, etc.
Handrails can be used as a
locational aid.
People with Hearing Disabilities
People with hearing disabilities have
particular difficulty in comprehending
sounds and words in noisy environments.
Rooms should be acoustically well
insulated. In public buildings
loudspeaking systems should be clearly
audible. Supplementary visual
information should be provided, for
example, in bus terminals, railway
stations and airports.

Lumen per fixtures = Lumen
efficiency x each fixtures watt
CALCULATE NO. OF FIXTURES
Required no. of fixtures = required
lux x room area / maintainance factor
x utilization factor x lumen per fixture
CALCULATE MINIMUM SPACING
BETWEEN EACH FIXTURE
